does it still boot to the heath warning screen? if it does you could try booting the wii into maintenance mode by holding - and + then press A, it more than likely wont help but its worth a try i guess, your wii shouldn't have bricked in the first place from what you said in your post

if u still have priiloader, u can install and/or launch the hackmii installer boot.elf and reinstall the homebrew channel

u can use the same method to launch wad manager or dop-ios mod and fix ur system files are corrupted message by reinstalling a patched version of your system menu ios (be careful not to install a new system menu, as this will uninstall priiloader and then u will be bricked for sure, unless u have bootmii as boot2, and if u do, just do a nand restore)

Try to reinstall the HBC. And don't use IOS downgrader, I think it's outdated.

was the wsr a backup or a original? if you were on 4.2 then u have a newer system menu then what wsr has on the disk. you more then likely updated to a diffrent region hence the problem..

No i had 4.2 and all the disc updates do is update certain ios's on your wii that will allow you to play the game and its wierd i run the hackmii installler and it says it cant continue cause theres no vulnerable ios for it to use so i click exit then my homebrew channel loads but i cant connect to friends internet which i need to do to fix it because i wasnt connected to it in the first place and i need to do that through the system menu

so reading through this post, it seems that your HBC is still working. you could just use cioscorp uninstaller by da_letter_a then. you could obtain it by mailing [email protected] ...use it for you to remove cioscorp.

Ok, So what is the current condition of the wii. Are you still able to get into preloader?
Are you able to get to the rescue menu?

If you can get into the rescue menu what firmware version does it say?

You did not ever mention if you have bootmii installed to boot2 or not, but I would assume you dont.
Yes i can get into preloader, you will have to explain what the rescue menu is and if im correct it says version 4.0U but i know my wii is 4.2U
